Last season Louise announced she'd a yearning to bake Cheese Scones, "they'll never sell", said I, how wrong can you be? Cheese scones have to be one of our best sellers and of course Louise never says "told you so", at least not more than once a week!
We have our own range of jams, jellies and chutneys for sale in the café this year. Many of the ingredients are homegrown without any thought of they'll all be ready together(!) and what on earth shall we do with them? After having been on a diet of purely soup for too long another solution was required, thus jam and chutney making began. The newest edition is Rhubarb and Ginger Chutney made with forced rhubarb from the walled kitchen garden at Clumber Park. Plum and Pear Chutney, along with sweet cucumber pickle, is served with the Ploughmans Lunch.
I'm under fire this morning having bought Louise a box of bananas, apparently it should have been a box of chocolates. You can't please some people can you, but the resulting Banana Tea Loaf is worth the agro.
Bye for now.
Adrian
